Question

Kyle caught 9 insects for his science project in the first week. He caught 13 insects in the second week. What is the percent increase in the number of insects Kyle caught from the first week to the second week? Round your answer to the nearest whole number

pleaseeeee

Answer 1

44%

Explanation:

The percent increase would be calculated as the increase in insects caught divided by the original number of insects caught from the first week:

13-9 = 4 more insects caught.

4/9 = .44444

When doing percentages we multiply the decimal by 100, or move it over two places to the right, so it will be 44.4%

Numbers 4 and under round down.

Therefore,

44% is the increase
